I may have missed the beginning of this thread, but have you checked all
the usual suspects such as firewalls (e.g. fragments of firewalls
remaining that you thought had been uninstalled).
You could also try repair programs such as lspfix
(
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm) or winsockxpfix
(
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html).
And have you check for spurious proxy settings and the like?
cheers
